They are the Waikato utility back Dylan Collier; Otago wing Josh Gordon; Rieko Ioane - the brother of former All Blacks Sevens player Akira Ioane - and Taranaki 2014 ITM Cup squad member Beaudein Waaka.

Sir Gordon said he's been keeping a close eye on these players for some time.

"They were certainly standouts at the National Sevens in Rotorua so it's great to be able to include them in the squad for the first time," he said.

Sir Gordon said he's sure the four new faces will be going all out to earn selection for the Wellington tournament, next weekend, and the Las Vegas Sevens, a week later. The team will be named on Monday February the 2nd.

After three legs of the World Series, the All Blacks Sevens are lying third behind Fiji and leaders South Africa. They must finish in the top four in the series to ensure automatic qualification for the Olympics in Rio de Janiero in 2016.
